She came in, sat down with Debbie, and picked out her own cake. She really liked the Pink & Black Zebra Cake we'd made for a 1st birthday party, and she wanted it to look elegant, mature, and glamorous.
Her party colors were red and black so we changed all the pink to red:
We topped the cake with red ribbon roses and pulled the zebra print pattern all the way over the top of the cake, rather than stopping at the top edge.
And we gave her a giant red bow on the second tier.
Isn't it funny how just a couple of simple changes can take a fun 1st birthday cake and make it into a mature, elegant 31st birthday cake?!
I loooove the red & black!! My two favorite colors and I do think they just pop in this design!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a dumb question. .I KNOW.. but this is all new to me(your site is making me want to take up a cake design hobby).. BUT Are the colors different flavors?? OR does it all taste the same..lol
ReplyDeleteDK, typically, the colors are all the same flavor. These cakes were covered and decorated with fondant, which tends to have a vanilla-like/marshmallow-like flavor and texture.
ReplyDeleteThere is one fondant manufacturer that makes different flavors for each color, Fondarific. It's quite yummy! :)
